You wander into The Johnson, head to a room, and everything seems normal — that's what people at hotels, after all. But if you're doing so between September 12–15 as part of Brisbane Festival, then you're not there to stay. Rather, you're seeing a show.

Yes, as well as hitting up venues all around the city, this year's fest includes a one-man show in a Spring Hill hotel room.Created and performed by Wiradjuri man Joel Bray, it's called Biladurang, with the title meaning platypus. As you're trapped in the room with Joel, you'll watch him dance, act, wonder why he's there and loosely relay a dreamtime story.
